/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A photo exhibition dedicated to the state of Armenian
historical and cultural monuments in Turkey and Nakhichevan opened
in the Armenian Embassy in Washington on April 24. Several dozens
of photos testify of consistent destruction of Armenian churches and
other historical monuments. The exhibition organized by an organization
studying the Armenian architecture functions under the slogan “cultural
genocide” and draws the attention of the international community to the
necessity of protection of Armenian cultural and historical monuments.

Opening the exhibition RA Ambassador to the U.S. Tatul Margaryan
highly assessed the activities of the Armenian architects and
noted that it’s very important today to preserve the tradition of
the Armenian architecture for the coming generations and raise
the issue of barbarian destruction of the Armenian khachkars in
Nakhichevan. The exhibition will function 10 days. It has already
been attended by hundreds of Americans including officials, reported
the RA MFA press office.
